I feel like I’m a bigger fan of Japanese pop music than of watching anime. Oftentimes I would look up an artist of an anime theme song I like and explore other songs in their album. A lot of Japanese pop music has rock and jazz influence and that’s something I enjoy listening to. My favourite singers include Aimer and あいみょん. I also enjoy listening to L’arc en Ciel, SuperCell, Stereopony and others. On average I might watch a few episodes of an anime show a week. However I would usually listen to Japanese music several hours a day.
Are any of you learning Japanese with J-Pop as your primary motivator? It seems to me that most anime watchers don’t really pay attention to who sings what anime opening. For example, most of the non anime songs from Aimer and あいみょん have Japanese only comments on YouTube.
